When we opened up the new forum software, there was much talk of the poll feature and whether or not we would enable the feature. As we had many other things to work with at the time, we promised we’d re-visit the idea once things had settled down.
Well, they have, and we did. After much deliberation among the admins, mods, and Dead Inside, we’ve decided to enable the feature.
We do have some reservations about it, however, and just to let you know we will be keeping an eye out in case it starts getting abused. We do have the ability to not allow specific members the ability to use polls if anybody in particular begins to abuse them, and if it gets too out of hand we may just disallow all polls in all forums and create a forum just for polls (or just disallow them altogether).
We don’t expect problems, but we will be watching for them.
So polls are now available to those that choose to use them. Please use them sparingly.

The last few days have been rather bumpy in these parts.
First the server decided it needed a nap this weekend, and it was due for a nap as we've been working it for over 4 months straight. As luck would have it lo-key, the only one with physical access to the server, was in Thailand porking some 9 year old virgin, so the forum junkies were SOL until Sunday night when lo-key got home to whip the bitch into shape.
Then, today you poor fools had to endure another forum outage. When the forum crashed some tables corrupted, and repairing them caused some problems. Luckily, Gravestone was on hand to offer a few pointers and lo and behold the forum has returned.
So go now my little whores, go post til your hearts content.
Love,
Dingleberry Blue

You can now grant points to other members.
How this works is, every time you post you will accumulate (a fraction of) a point credit. You can then use these credits to grant points to other users.
Right now, you get about .1 credit per post, however the exact number is dependant on your post count. People with more posts will recieve more credits, for instance someone with 1000 posts will recieve about .1 credit per post, someone with 5000 posts will recieve about .15 credits.
To grant someone points click the thumbs up icon next to the 'quote' button in a post.
Also:
- you cannot grant yourself points
- you cannot accumulate more than 10 credits per day
- credits dont accumulate in the test forum
- credits dont accumulate for users with less than 100 total posts
- you cant grant negative points
If you abuse this you will lose your privilege to use it. (such as spamming or making inane posts simply to gain credits)
Cheers

Let me give you some background info first.
I met this girl just over a year ago. I was just leaving work when my mobile (cell) phone rang. It was my mate saying they had just finished their college course and they were going out for a major pissup to celebrate. I said I had no money 'til payday, which was a couple of days away. But, I had my arm twisted and decided to go.
We flirted all night and at the end of the night we kissed. After about a year of being single, this was brilliant. We met up about a week or so later and really hit it off. After about a month of going out, she fell pregnant. Unlucky, but these things happen.
Whe went to India for about three weeks and then I went to spain for a fortnight. About two days after she came back, and whilst I was away, I got a call from her saying she was pregnant.
Damn.
What the fuck can you do when you are 3000+ miles away in a foreign land and you're told over your moble that you are gonna be a dad?
After I came back, we talked. We agreed on an abortion, but she couldnt go through with it. Truthfully, I didn't want an abortion, but I respected her wishes and went along with it. I was relieved as hell that she couldn't do it.
We continued to have a relationship up until she was about six months pregnant. In November, we split up because we just knew that a relationship between us just wasn't gonna work. We both loved each other (and we still do), but just knew that it wasn't gonna work.
Then, at the end of March, Thomas came along.
It's been 113 days since my son Thomas was born. I just cannot describe the feeling that I got when I saw my child for the first time. I've done many drugs in my life and the best high I've ever had is nothing in comparison. It doesn't even start to compare. Nothing does, nor can.
My problem is that I now live near Manchester, which is about 250 miles northwest of London, where my ex and Thomas live. I go down as often as possible, once or twice a month, but frankly, that isn't enough. I miss them both.
One of the main reasons that I moved up here in January is that I'm epileptic and London, as you may know, is stressful as hell. True, I'm on a fraction of what I was earning in London, but I don't care. Since I've lived up here, I haven't had a fit and I'm feeling a lot better.
Like I said, I miss them both and want to be with them. I'm looking into ways of sorting things with her and getting back to being a father to my son.
I've even been looking into getting a mortgage for a house. This is scary. I'm 21 now; I've got a 3 month old son; and I'm looking at getting a fucking mortgage.
My other way is going back to London. I need a job, though. I've got a long term business idea/plan in the pipeline, but that's a while away, I think.
But, you never know what's gonna happen in life, do you?
That's my story. What do you have to say about that?
Respect
Jay D

Mullah Mohammed Hasan Akhund, the deputy Taliban leader, and George W. Bush agree to meet in Kabul for the first round of talks in a new anti-terrorism process. When George sits down, he notices three buttons on the arm of Akhund's chair. They begin talking.
After about five minutes Akhund presses the first button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches Bush in the face. Annoyed, Bush carries on talking as Akhund laughs. A few minutes later the second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes out and kicks Bush in the shin. Again Akhund laughs, and again George carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between the two countries. But when the third button is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks Bush square in the privates, he's finally had enough.
"I'm headin' back home!" he calmly tells the Afghan. "We'll finish these talks in Washington in two weeks!"
A fortnight passes and Akhund flies to the United States for talks. As the two men sit down, Akhund notices three buttons on Bush's chair arm and prepares himself for the Texan's retaliation. They begin talking and George presses the first button. Akhund ducks, but nothing happens. George snickers but they continue talking. A few minutes later he presses the second button. Akhund jumps up, but again nothing happens. Bush roars with laughter. They continue the talks but when the third button is pressed, Akhund jumps up again, but again nothing happens.
Bush falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics. "Forget this," says Akhund. "I'm going back to Afghanistan!" George W. says, through tears of laughter, "What Afghanistan?"
